I had no idea what to expect when I was booking an apartment with no reviews on homeaway (abritel) for the first time, but my entire experience (the communication with the owner, the stay, the apartment, the location, Pornichet, the beaches, the cost) was beyond what I could wish for.
The owner made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The apartment was just as described, really comfortable, clean and had in my opinion the best view in comparison with other residences in the complex, as the balcony overlooked the forest and was on the 2nd floor. Also the apartment and the kitchen had every single amenity a holiday maker at the sea could wish, so we felt as if we were in our own house.
The ocean was not very warm at the beginning of the stay (though still everyone enjoyed it), so having the heated (and clean pool) was great. The free wifi in the vicinity of the pool was another added bonus.
The beach was a short walk away, and it was a pleasant walk through a nice little forest and two great children's playgrounds on the way.
There were several good restaurants in the vicinity, La Marina, Potion, with delicious specialties and also a bakery with fresh croissants and bread only a block away.
If you prefer quiet vacations with not too many tourists I would totally recommend Pornichet over La Baulle.
There is plenty of parking space near the house were the apartment is located all inside the Ker Juliette residence area. If you are without a car, there is a free bus circling in Pornichet and the neighboring areas, and the stop is some 50 steps away from the Ker Juliette residence entrance. It is also extremely easy to reach the city of St Nazaire which offers really nice shopping via public buses.
So I will whole heartedly recommend this to other travelers, and if we come to the area next year, we will definitely want to stay here again.
